What people are saying about Dubai Mall

Overall rating

4.3
(20,715 reviews)

Alhamdulillah, it was very interesting and fun. The selection of places were appropriate for those who enjoy sightseeing, mostly featuring great architectural feats, but also incorporating local culture at Old Dubai towards the end. The guide was knowledgeable with the many tourist attractions at Dubai, and he seems to know many other locals we met on the way as well. His explanations were clear, and he was very patient with my questions. He gave me two extra hours as well, and bought me some local food (Zara’s bread) and drink (camel milk tea). He was very flexible with my praying ‘Asr and Maghrib (we went to mosques for both these prayers) which is very commendable and appreciated, though I was traveling alone anyway. I was a bit underwhelmed and uncomfortable by the walking through the stores inside Dubai Mall (other than the lake inside and the aquarium, which were both stunning) but this is only a minute drawback of the trip that may only apply to me. Overall, a great experience!

A must when you come to Dubai, this was the third time for us so we know the fountain show well and the best view is of course the boats, good value for money, magical and unforgettable moment!

An amazing experience to feel like you are actually up in the clouds! The whole process of checking in and going up is all very well organised.

Tour was good. Saw a wide range of local history and attractions as well as learning some about the history and culture.

Great service from our guide. Skyview was an excellent experience! Thanks!
